About The Velvelettes
Hometown
Kalamazoo, MI, United States
Formed
1961
Genre
R&B/Soul
Very much in the Motown girl-group mold shared by labelmates the Marvelettes, Martha & the Vandellas, and the Supremes, the Velvelettes scored a handful of charting singles from 1964 through 1966. Among their most noteworthy hits were "Needle in a Haystack," which almost made the pop Top 40, and the similarly upbeat "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'," revived in the '80s with great success by Bananarama. Numerous lineup changes hastened the Velvelettes' breakup at the dawn of the 1970s. The group reunited in the mid-'80s, released the studio album One Door Closes (1990), and have continued to perform into the 2020s. Their '60s recordings have been collected on The Very Best of the Velvelettes (1999) and the more expansive Motown Anthology (2004).
